One night I left it plugged in and it went off about 3 am so I went out and looked at the screen and it appeared to have a smiley face on where the numbers were..some were lit some not and I swear it looked like an evil smiley face...Well I chucked that thing in the nearest dump...have no idea what it was up to but obviously no good lol. watch for the smiley..when that happens..get rid of it lol! it may be a clone Mooooooohahahaaa :/
It wasn't worth repairing?

In Vermont they snuck them in on all of us last year......metermen no longer have to go around and read the electrical meters.

However, since it was installed...........we do hear a weird SOUND which is difficult to describe coming from the microwave, the wall oven......both GE appliances and in all rooms of the house. Ditto for the GE frig which is the French door variety.......it's not the chirping of the ice maker "filter".....totally different sound.
I also hear it "in the walls" in the kitchen.............as strange as that may sound.

At first I thought it was our hot water baseboard heat.....but last summer the heat was not on.

Many people oppose these smart meters...........

Not saying our "sound" is the same as yours........but who knows?
No, we don't have a "smart meter" installed on the house. Have you confirmed that all those sounds are from the "smart meter" when it is reading your electric meter?

Many thanks to all of you who have helped to troubleshoot for me.
